I just came across this now and find it very inter­est­ing from a busi­ness per­spec­tive. Lul­ule­mon Ath­let­ica are expand­ing by releas­ing a new brightly-coloured, dance-inspired line of cloth­ing for girls aged 6 to 12. The new brand is called Ivivva Ath­let­ica. Cur­rent Ivivva Canada store loca­tions are:

  • 2123 W 4th Avenue, Van­cou­ver, B.C. Canada, V6K 1N7
  • Suite 120, 540 John­son Street, Vic­to­ria, B.C. Canada, V8W 1M3
  • 3625 Sha­ganappi Trail NW, Cal­gary, Alberta, Canada, T3A 0E2

I’m guess­ing that over the next year Lul­ule­mon will be sell­ing Ivivva at more and more locations.

    In my opin­ion the prices are way insane. I have no brand pieces. I grew up with Wal-Mart. You see, maybe these brand cloth­ing lines are for peo­ple who can afford them. But every­one likes it and all want it. Kids are gonna want IVIVVA! No joke, no sweat. They have to start learn­ing that you can’t have every­thing in life and its not your image that counts its what your doing! By exam­ple,
    A girl comes from this really rich fam­ily, she wears Ivivva all the time, but is really bad at gym­nas­tics
    Another girl comes from a extremely poor fam­ily wears cheap cloth­ing but is really good in gym­nas­tics!
    Who do you think i going to the Olympics?
    See? It not what you wear its what you do!
    But sadly kids some­times get bul­lied when they wear cloth­ing that aren’t brand names. If you teach your chil­dren to be more gen­er­ous, you won’t hit the prob­lem when you child wants these cool brand clothes, you don’t wanna dis­ap­point her but can’t afford them. So if you spend some­time teach­ing them about life, they won’t care about these fancy clothe until they earn money and buy it them­selves.
    This is what I’ve done,
    I have a 24 year old daugh­ter named Cathy and is a great doc­tor, and she buys brand clothes and even buys some for me!
    I have a 11 year old Amanda and even if her friends wear TNA, Ivivva, Amer­i­can Eagle, Guess, etc) she doesn’t care she just sucks it up and moves for­ward. And I sur­prised her with a Ivivva jacket for her birth­day! :) Its great!

    BTW Merry Christ­mas! I sur­prised Amanda with new Ivivva leggings!

    Lul­ule­mon, TNA, Bench and other brand clothes. There prices are high cause they are good mate­r­ial. But now comes IVIVVA. I don’t believe that kids shop for brand clothes while there par­ents are work­ing to get the pre­cious money. I often see lit­tle chil­dren (around 9–12)shopping at brand stores at Aero­pos­tle and stuff find­ing Xsmall sizes! Kids are get­ting way to self­ish… in a way of get­ting their par­ents to get them $100 jack­ets when they can’t afford them. Well I think Ivivva is a nice idea since its pertty durable. But I’m not agree­ing with girls shop­ping at guess,coach etc) May be styl­ish but they’ll wait till they earn the money instead.
    BYE!!!!!!!!

    AHA Boo Radley– now I know why lul­ule­mon was nom­i­nated as one of the Best Com­pa­nies in Canada even though it was only men­tioned once by peo­ple instead of Lush (men­tioned 2 times or 3 I for­get), Body Shop and Chap­mans Ice Cream (men­tioned 4 times). YOU CHEATED AND I KNEW IT.

  5. Lily

    My three dau­thers do yoga once a week as well as dance soc­cer fig­ure skat­ing and gym­nas­tics. And I told them that they could get one out­fit. Like a a gift. Then the next week I got a let­ter from there bal­let teacher say­ing they need new bal­let clothes so my chil­dren wanted to go to ivivva. So we went there and I got them dance,soccer,gymnastics. Now if they ask me for some­thing I think I might have to say yes. I have noticed what good fab­ric there is my chil­dren really do like there clothes and maybe I will get for there b-day.

    Lily

  6. Lina

    Lily I do not agree with you why didn’t you say no yo your chil­dren? But with three kids you got to say yes to every­thing don’t you.

  7. Madlilyn

    Haven’t most of you ever heard the say­ing “If you have don’t have any­thing nice to say.…don’t say anything?”

    It seems like a lot of you feel like because you “grew up on XXXXXX” clothes that lul­ule­mon and the rest of their brand are “insanely priced”

    I have sev­eral peices from lul­ule­mon and I still have ALL of them. The point? They are well made and as some­one else men­tioned, the pants don’t slip down when you run or are hold­ing a yoga pose.

    I thought this was about the new children’s brand? I am excited about it and I saw a news story on it on a Van­cou­ver sta­tion and this line is mar­keted to kids who are active. They had a girl on who was a fig­ure skater, a gym­nist, a bal­let dancer and a hip-hop dancer and all of them looked com­fort­able, could move and were cov­ered up.

    So.…if peo­ple are will­ing to buy it and it is well made and will grow with the child wear­ing them (one of the pants were spe­cially made that way) then why not?

    The issue of par­ents who can’t afford it or par­ents send­ing pud­ding cups to school and then show­ing up in these clothes has noth­ing to do with lul­ule­mon. That is a whole other issue.

    If you’ve never worn it — don’t bash it. If you have and have a valid point, then fine.

    I will con­tinue to wear it and I will pur­chase the kids line for my daugh­ter as well if it fits her well and she is comfy dur­ing her sports activ­i­ties what’s the problem?

    and don’t hate me cause I can afford it. That’s not the issue here either. Geez people.

  8. Annalise

    I totally agree with you Madliyn!
    I can’t really afford this piece of cloth­ing heaven for a kid. But in real­ity its worth it. I just got my daugh­ter two Ivivva tank tops and a Lul­ule­mon head­band. She was really happy about it!

    So I think the peo­ple that are com­plain­ing to STOP now.
    Maybe you don’t like this brand, just keep it to your­self. This blog isn’t meant for debates you peo­ple! Lul­ule­mon and Ivivva are two great brands that are hated by peo­ple who can’t afford them.
    I have some lul­ule­mon pieces and are still not worn out! I’ve been wear­ing them for years! I see chil­dren try­ing to get these com­fort clothes by Lul­ule­mon and are hav­ing a real hard time find­ing xxs­mall sizes. Then comes Ivivva I think its a won­der­ful idea! For a kid to get COMFORTABLE in their clothes!

    Peo­ple gotta learn whats right for them and keep there mouth shut on insults and com­plaints!
    WOW… Whats with these people

    Well i am a 12 year old girl and EVERYONE at my school wears fancy cloth­ing lines like hol­lis­ter, aro­postale, tna and lulu lemon. I bought some clothes recently from are­o­postale and hon­estly the only rea­son i did was because if you don’t peo­ple think you aren’t cool or you dont have enough money. I was actu­ally sur­prised because are­o­postal has really cheap cloth­ing (i mean in the not so expen­sive way), unlike amer­i­can eagle or tna. I am in a dance acad­emy at school and every girl in there has short shorts or 2 sizes to small pants. I really need to get a pare because i got ones from wal­mart for $20 and they ripped. :( so i’ve been try­ing to save up to buy a pare of pants for 98 dol­lars!!! It’s hon­estly really sad how peo­ple judge you based on the clothes you wear :( most of my friends don’t but i want to because it’s some clothes are really good qual­ity so I am going to save up and start being respon­si­ble with my money if i really want some lul­ule­mon pants. My mom can’t afford it, its such a shame that they are so expen­sive but again GREAT quality.

  10. StarGurl142

    Also where is ivivva loca­tions? I’ve looked every­where cant find anything…

  12. lola

    this crap on how lul­ule­mon isnt good qual­ity is fake!it is amazing.i have a few shirts for close to decade.the prices are a lit­tle over the top but if you dont buy it very often then it is quite reasonable.you haters need to write your com­ments some­where else!

  13. um

    I’m in 6th grade and all my dance friends wear lul­ule­mon, but my par­ents think it’s silly to buy things for so much. (it’s really hard because i don’t wear as much expen­sive brand name clothes as my friends and they don’t say any­thing but i KNOW what they’re think­ing). i did buy a lulu jacket with my own money, and i love to wear it when i’m danc­ing cuase it moves with me. same with my ivviva pants and jacket. but i paid $100 for the jacket, nd my mom paid more than that for my ivviva. so there is the pros and cons of ivviva and lululemon!!

  15. abcde

    Im 13. I got my first lulu jacket this year as a gift and i really liked it. Around Christ­mas time i wanted to use some of my gift money to buy a lulu hoodie. Unfor­tu­nately, i hadn’t thought about the good qual­ity, i had just wanted the brand because some of my friends had it. How­ever, once i tried it on, i real­ized it was actu­ally really comfy and good qual­ity. I have a cou­ple head bands from lul­ule­mon and that’s it. Most peo­ple are say­ing oh, its sad, peo­ple buy it for their kids so they dont get bul­lied, blah blah blah. Some of the kids I know wear only brand names and yes it’s kind of annoy­ing some­times, but that stuff is really expen­sive. It’s really good qual­ity and if you or your par­ents are will­ing to buy it I think it’s won­der­ful. If you can’t afford it, I don’t think it’s very fair to be mean about it. I love the con­cept of ivivva. How­ever, I think it’s kind of over priced buy­ing those things for lit­tle chil­dren con­sid­er­ing the fact that they are still grow­ing. I per­son­ally think it’s more prac­ti­cal for adults to buy that kind of expen­sive cloths. My lulu pieces are large and I chose to buy them that way so I didn’t have to buy new ones for a while. I love the con­cept of both stores, even if they are a bit overpriced.

  16. abcde

    I just want to tell all of the other girls not to just buy this stuff for the sake of hav­ing the brand. Buy these things if you need them. They’re too expen­sive to buy for the sake of buying.

  17. Addison

    I love the tex­ture of lulu and I often see kids wear­ing lulu x small and stuff. I’m glad Ivivva’s hap­pen­ing, and it looks trendy and nice. I know there are com­plaints about how pricey it is. Yes it is. I can hardly afford but it could be worth it. I’m 13 and a lot of my friends wear like aero­pos­tle and stuff or tna, lulu, hol­lis­ter, aber­cro­bie What­ever.. But some­way I feel its annoy­ing how peo­ple are so com­plain­ing. If you don’t wear it and stuff. YOU HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT! Stop com­par­ing other brands and put your­selves together! They could still be pricey. But over all they are gr8 I have 2 lulu sweaters (one sports one) and another trend one.
    My favourtie swearter in my closet would be tna!!!! YEAHHHHHH ;)

  18. Sienna

    I am a 9 year old girl and i love IVIVVA, so i hope yuor store never shuts down because this is the only cloth­ing i prat­icly wear plus Triple Flip. I wear a lot of dance stuff from this store.!!!! I am so happy they opened IVIVVA because it is just like lulu lemon but for kids!!! Thanks, Sienna

  22. Princess

    i love ivivva it is cheeper than lul­ule­mon but i am absesed with lul­ule­mon and triple flip i love this new store it fits me perfectly

  23. Helena

    Does your blog have a con­tact page? I’m hav­ing a tough time locat­ing it but, I’d like to send you an email. I’ve got some rec­om­men­da­tions for your blog you might be inter­ested in hear­ing. Either way, great site and I look for­ward to see­ing it improve over time.

  27. Mimi

    Every one at my school wears Lul­ule­mon and I think its just plain crazy. I’m 11 and my friends are wear­ing Lul­ule­mon and it so big on them. I think Ivivva is a bet­ter idea cause they are get­ting alot of young cos­tumers at Lulu and now they will be able to get some thing that fits and some­thing age appro­pri­ate.
    I dance and the leo­tard I got at wamart is com­pletely ruined after only danc­ing for a month! I’m sure stuff from Ivivva will be much bet­ter qual­ity even though it would be more expen­sive, but it would be cheaper than buy­ing new stuff that is lower qual­ity again and again.
    I really want an Ivivva in my town since the only store we have in the mall is Gap kids, since La Senza Girl closed. I always have to go out of town to get clothes. But my town is a tiny town, so I don’t think we are get­ting an Ivivva any time soon. :(

  28. Kemmec

    I love that Iviva is made in Canada
    and
    I love that there is ath­letic wear out there that is made for girls…and that I don’t have to shop the ‘boys ath­letic depart­ment’ to dress my ath­letic daughters.

  29. amyjo1002

    Ok. So let me start off by say­ing I usu­ally don’t post on these sites but feel the need to this time. I am a 30 year old mother of 2 and love lulu for their qual­ity and wear abil­ity. I work out 5 days a week and love that I can go from the gym to the gro­cery store with­out miss­ing a beat. The cloth­ing doesn’t pull or ride or even stick for that mat­ter. My kids are 6 month and aged 7. My 7 year old is a com­pet­i­tive gym­nast and swears by ivivva. I think its a great option and allows her to go from gym­nas­tics onto her day with­out hav­ing to change. Their pric­ing is in line with gym­nas­tiic wear apparel that doesn’t wear or wash the same. Or even stretch the same. My daugh­ter is 8 and weighs 47 lbs so lulu was never an option. She eats like a horse and out eats me on a daily basis and eats all healthy foods. She wears the clothes cause they work for her. She eats what she wants and trainsa as much or lit­tle as she wants. She is a well man­nered behaved lit­tle girl and I tham happy there is an option out there for kids like her.

    Hi! Not to burst bub­bles but I am a 14 year old girl and I per­son­ally love lul­ule­mon and Ivivva! I don’t shop at lul­ule­mon that much because it seems to be a waste of money for young girls who will grow out of it in a year. Ivivva cloth­ing is not as expen­sive as Lul­ule­mon and many of the cloth­ing pieces are actu­ally adjustable! Some have a folded up hem so if you grow, you can make it two inches longer! I don’t wear it to show off what I can afford and look like a bill­board (unlike Aber­crom­bie), but i wear it because it makes me feel really com­fort­able and con­fi­dent in myself when I wear it. The clothes are so comfy that I never want to take them off when I’m try­ing clothes on in the change room! Also, a lot of the clothes are reversable so instead of buy­ing two of a prod­uct, you get two in one! The clothes at Ivivva don’t stretch in the wash and the col­ors don’t fade. I think the clothes are worth every dollar!

  33. Jane

    I think that lulue­mon is great!!!
    Stop say­ing bad things about clothes!!
    Be happy that you have some !!

  34. me

    geez all par­ents just stop okay? leave lul­ule­mon alone! wtf

  35. Sara

    lol read­ing this is just sad… i am thir­teen and i wear lul­ule­mon and tna almost every sin­gle day and i also do real sports (dance,soccer,runnig,cheerleader) and they are great brands what ever the price no im not rich but they are worth it and too all you people“ohh you shouldnt buy that for your kid oh dont do that” ITS NOT YOUR LIFE ITS THEIRS THEY CAN DO WHAT EVER THEY WANT IF THEY CAN AFFORD IT GOOD FOR THEM!!!!!!! and it does total­lly last for five years i have one pair of shorts thats lasted 3years and counting!!!!!!!

  36. HELENA

    I think that name brands are tooo expen­sive.
    All you are really doing is adver­tis­ing them with a logo while you feel “so” good. But I think lul­ule­mon and ivivva are very durable and extremely com­fort­able. I know lots of peo­ple are going to say then why dont you buy some­thing cheaper? but i per­son­ally think lul­ule­mon and ivivva really are the BEST. before i was try­ing to find lul­ule­mon pieces in the small­est sizes. it would take a while to find. My friends were all sprt­ing lul­ule­mon while i barely could because i was short for 11. (my FRIENDS were extremely tall.) I felt pretty bad. So when i found out there was ivivva i jumped for joy and spent all my money on it. and it was totally worth it>!!!

  38. martha stewart lol jk

    There are pros and cons.

    pros:
    very durable
    looks nice
    comfortable

    cons:
    $$$expensive$$$

    I guess thats my opinion.

  40. Preisvergleich

    Some­one nec­es­sar­ily assist to make sig­nif­i­cantly arti­cles I’d state. That is the first time I fre­quented your web page and to this point? I amazed with the analy­sis you made to cre­ate this actual sub­mit extra­or­di­nary. Fan­tas­tic job!

  41. aliyaculls

    i shop at lul­ule­mon im 12 and my mom is very con­cerned about how much they are and dur­ing the hol­i­days all these shops are 50% off or buy one get one free yet no one is in them and then you see lul­ule­mon and is packed doesnt even have a sale going on i think if they have some sort of deals going on they would have a crowd com­ing in and buy­ing lots more i also think that most of there pants get lint on them its so annoying

  42. Esther Jane

    My 10yr old bought a next to brand new lulu today at Value Vil­lage for $13.99. the most have paid for good used one was $40.00 & the least was $10.00

  43. texas dreamer

    hi every­on­nee yall.
    doon’t hate guys.
    Lulu is soo much bet­ter than all those dumb brands that aad­ver­tisee with their gigan­tic logos that are sooooooo point­less. even though it may be exep­n­sivee it can be use­ful for at leastt five yearss and count­ing. Its bet­ter than wal­mart ehh? I loved lulu ever since my boyfriend bought me a jacket from there. SOOO DONT HATE! THEERE AINT NYTHING TO HATE!~
    Love from,
    Hous­ton :)

    I’m 11 Years Old.
    I Went To Ivivva Today And Got Shorts And A Tank­top It’s Expen­sive I Spent
    $80 But It’s Worth It.

  46. Selin

    I really love the stuff I got The shorts are so comfy and top is too !!
    It was expen­sive i admit it but I mean i spend all my money at Ivivva and i think it’s worth it :)

  47. singledad

    I’ve been wait­ing fo rsome­thing like this to come along for my lil girl (she’s 11 with spe­cial needs). She’s been described as a pixie because she’s so small and reg­u­lar pants just fall off of her. I’m pretty sure this stuff will fit her prop­erly and as she doesn’t grow all that fast it will fit her for a very long time. In spite of her chal­lenges she really loves to look pretty and I have no prob­lem spend­ing the extra money to see to it that she does. And btw she in non ver­bal so she can’t even ask me for it, I just want her to have it :)

  48. Oriana

    Hi Every­one! I think its ter­ri­ble about the bad work­ing con­di­tions that some of you speak of, but I think that buy­ing in mod­er­a­tion will both pro­vide you with qual­ity cloth­ing, and also stop you from over­spend­ing and sup­port­ing bad prac­tices. I just wrote a let­ter to Lul­ule­mon telling them that its impor­tant for me to sup­port com­pa­nies with humane prac­tices. I’m a dancer, and I love wear­ing things that help me dance, and also stay in good con­di­tion. Try not to buy all from one com­pany, but buy from mul­ti­ple, and buy in mod­er­a­tion, only what you need, when you need it (With a few exceptions!:)

    Thanks!
